It’s some dude telling me that I am cooking bacon the wrong way and then proceeds to show the “correct” way to make bacon.

Now, I agree that what he is showing is a proper way to cook bacon.Â The biggest point is using a low heat and getting the skillet hot before placing any bacon in the pan.Â But to say that I am cooking my bacon incorrectly, well sir, I just won’t stands for it!

Evidently I am not alone either if you scroll down and read all the comments.Â Most people, including yours truly, take advantage of the oven method.Â No fuss, no muss and my bacon comes out looking just like his “correct” bacon EVERY TIME!

DEAR ABBY: What is the proper way to eat bacon in a restaurant? My son says that bacon is finger food and can be picked up with your fingers.

I like to cut the bacon strips into bite-sized pieces that can fit on a fork to be eaten without getting my fingers greasy. — MOTHER KNOWS BEST

DEAR MOTHER: It depends upon how you like your bacon cooked. According to Emily Post, bacon can be eaten as a finger food “when it is dry, crisp and served whole. If the bacon is broken into bits, served in thick slices (as with Canadian bacon) or limp, eat it with knife and fork as you would any other meat.”

As football “officially” started tonight I have decided that TDB needs an “official team” to root for.

Now of course, I will follow my Lions (regardless of record) and my Michigan State Spartans (regradless of record) but those are biased, partisan choices. No, I needed to find a team we could all get behind.

Enter Bacon Academy in Colchester, CT.

Let’s learn more about Bacon…this from the Colchester Public School’s website:

Bacon Academy is Colchester’s public high school, serving students in grades 9-12.

Bacon Academy began, as most enduring notions of quality begin, as a vision. In 1803, Pierpoint Bacon donated $35,000, and the vision that would become this exceptional institution began to flourish, and with it, the qualities of respect and pride which would become synonymous with Bacon Academy.

Can I ask you, is there a better team for us to follow? I don’t think so!

So every Monday during the football season I’ll be providing that previous Saturday’s results. Along the way, we’ll learn more about our adopted team.

This could come in handy down here in New Orleans…might have to beta test it…Â

Bacon sandwiches cure hangovers!!

Researchers claim food also speeds up the metabolism helping the body get rid of the booze more quickly.

Elin Roberts, of Newcastle University’s Centre for Life said: “Food doesn’t soak up the alcohol but it does increase your metabolism helping you deal with the after-effects of over indulgence. So food will often help you feel better.

“Bread is high in carbohydrates and bacon is full of protein, which breaks down into amino acids. Your body needs these amino acids, so eating them will make you feel good.”

Ms Roberts told The Mirror: “Bingeing on alcohol depletes neurotransmitters too, but bacon contains a high level of aminos which tops these up, giving you a clearer head.”
